copying data with rights and protection intact accross remote nodes?

[Clayton_12]

AS per my last reply first create root directory with back saveset , then restore all files and subdirectories from another saveset into this strucutre.


Thx for all feedback, as always every contribution was very helpful in learning about the topic at hand and OPENVMS as well.

Oh, on second thought,


backup /verify /record /ignore=(interlock) device:[000000]*.dir userdata:[username]


perhaps it is better to /EXCLUDE 000000.DIR here.
All kinds of strange effects can occur if you create a 000000.DIR in your MFD.
The one you (and a BACKUP command!) normally see there is in fact a self-reference, but upon restore sometimes (and I still have not found out exactly WHEN and WHEN NOT) a real one gets created. Better safe than sorry!

As an aside: what goal is served here by /RECORD?

Proost.

Have one on me.

Record is just a throw back from the existing system backup command files that I didn't take out.

I had the 000000 problem when I restored the *.dir saveset with [newdir...] output qualifier but not with the [newdir] qualifier. I shall use the /exclude qualifier.

Thanks Again
